Finger-Licking Tomato and Apple Ketchup for Canning

Make an incredibly tasty ketchup — better and healthier than store-bought! This canning-ketchup recipe is my favorite, and not just mine: the whole family eats it, and this batch always runs out before any of my other preserves. The sauce comes out far tastier than anything you can buy — truly finger-licking good! Give it a try!

    1. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem ends, and cut them in half. 2. Wash the apples too, remove the cores, peel them, and cut into medium-size pieces. 3. Peel and finely chop the onion. 4. Put the cut vegetables and fruit in a suitably sized pot and set it on the stove. 5. Bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 2 hours. 6. Once the time's up, take the pot off the heat and let the contents cool. 7. Run the mixture through a meat grinder or purée it with a blender, then push the sauce through a sieve for a smoother, finer texture. 8. Pour the purée back into the pot, add all the spices, salt, sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, and cook over low heat for 35 minutes, stirring regularly. 9. Pour in the vinegar, add the ground red pepper, and keep it on the heat for another 5 minutes. 10. Ladle the hot ketchup into small sterilized jars (you'll get about 1–1.2 liters / 1 quart of sauce total) and seal with sterilized lids. You can set aside a portion for your next dinner. Let the ketchup cool somewhere warm, then move it to permanent storage.
